JEE Main & Advanced Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Question Bank Simple Pendulum

  • question_answer
    A simple pendulum with a bob of mass ?m? oscillates from A to C and back to A such that PB is H. If the acceleration due to gravity is ?g?, then the velocity of the bob as it passes through B is              [CBSE PMT 1995; DPMT 1995; Pb. PMT 1996]

    A)            \[mgH\]                                 

    B)            \[\sqrt{2gH}\]

    C)            \[T\frac{p-1}{p}\]               

    D)            Zero

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       At B, the velocity is maximum using conservation of mechanical energy              \[\Delta PE=\Delta KE\] Þ \[mgH=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\] Þ \[v=\sqrt{2gH}\]
